Probably the most graphic motorcycle injury video I've seen. Not for the squeemish. Wear your protective gear folks. And don't fly hundreds of feet through the air into gas station signs. Horrific crash aftermath in hospital - YouTube

On my drive into work today, I had the rare opportunity to witness a police stop...er...I guess an attempted police stop! I was on the Dulles Toll Road and all of a sudden one of those superbike ducatis blew past me (I was doing about 80). And then in my rearview I saw a dulles toll road...

Hey gentlemen, Just wanted to share this experience I had today with you all. For the longest time I was a big advocate of "loud exhausts save lives". Why did I believe this? Long story short, in my own experience, I've never had any issues with open pipe loud exhausts...and have only ever...

Bye bye FZ8. Don't need this any more :( $150 shipped. Comes with baffles. Hanger mount has been sawed off, but it's so light the mount almost seems redudant. I did it because I was going for the passenger peg-less look. You can also rotate it however you'd like to as a result. Pic attached...

...by ripping apart my mini! sigh...hurry up and heal hand!!

Hey gents! I guess I took one for the team and became the third forum member to eat it in our recent string of forum guys eating it! So you guys are all safe for now lolol. Oh yes, at about 50mph I got clipped on the highway by another car darting into my lane to avoid another car! VA police...

So, there's been recent discussion that led me to the conclusion of: I need to stop trying to make my fz8 feel like a super sport bike. Because it's just never going to be one. and it was a valid point. I need to just wait to buy a super sport bike...which one day I will. But that time is not...

1) Thanks MikeC (the rider formerly known as Mich3alChu) for the decals and Frame sliders. Super fast shipping, installed this morning--perfect. 2) Performed yet another oil change...haha, my third oil change in under 5k miles. This time, I was trying to avoid all the guests in the house that...

Hey folks, just cleaning out the closet here in case anyone is interested. Just to give you an idea of fitment. I'm 6'2", stocky build, 43" chest, giant ass lats, small ass dick. 1) Icon Overlord Type 1 Textile Jacket "Attack Fit" sz XL- Worn 3 times. Wanted to not be a squid during the hot...

Gentlemen, To better faciliate real time updates for local area rides/events/etc, I've created a facebook group for the Mid Atlantic region. Aptly dubbed "FZ8-forum.com: Mid-Atlantic Riders"...it's an open group, anyone can view or join, and you should be able to find it easily. However, you...

It fit...but it was a little small. I made it work though. That's what she said. I almost dropped some dough on brand new renthals but the sales guy at the local honda dealership just so happened to have a pair of r6 clip ons that he had just swapped out and was willing to sell me. I told...

This thread is absolutely useless without a pic of this...gosh I really wish I had a camera. But on my ride into work today, I have never seen more ominous clouds ahead of me. I could've, and probably should've, turned around to get the car instead, but something about riding into this one...

Wondering if it's someone from here who was selling these... But after months upon months of checking ebay every single freaking day in hopes that someone would, for whatever reason, list a set of used rearsets (other than danmoto) for our bike... ...the effort finally paid off. I won an...

Hey gentlemen, This morning on my ride home from work I noticed the bike felt a bid fidgety on slow maneuvering turns. At highway speeds I didn't seem to notice it as much...but anything less than 30 mph, it was there. I kept on looking at my front tire whenever I was at a stop light to see...

Hey Guys, I've got a ride organized for this weekend. It started out as just a get together with a bud whom I haven't seen since college...and turned into a full on 2 hr ride between MD and VA (basically a loop around the potomac river). Would love to see some folks from here. I apologize for...

As a sort of addendum to the Clubman Bars thread...I'm going to try the clip on route. The curiosity of fully converting to clip ons is killing me and I need to try it. Has anyone done this already? I'm assuming I'll have issues with turning radius but how bad will it be? Any...

Sorry for the short notice heads up but if anyone's interested and completely bored around 5 this afternoon, I'm meeting up with noob today to grab some coffee and we were thinking it'd be cool to see other fz8'ers. here's the address: 14941 Shady Grove Road Rockville, MD 208507720...

Hey folks, hoping someone can chime in asap, I've got bike opened up and I'm stuck! I've done the idle sync just fine...but Thach mentioned a 4k sync which I definitely didn't do so I'm trying to get it done now. Question is...how do you sync at 4k? Do you set the idle at 4k and sync from...

I thought it would be cool, maybe even useful, to have a central repository of all the plasti dippin' ventures out there so folks can see what may or may not look good in their opinion...and hopefully, save some folks a couple of bucks depending on said opinion. Anyway I'll start it off here...
